Beyond Assessments: Using Games to Drive Real Change in Team Culture and Performance - Metro DC Chapter ATD

This event aligns with the Professional and Organizational Application of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model.

Assessments are incredibly popular: they provide insights into an individual's own behaviors, and a shared language for teams to better understand one another. But assessments alone don’t drive behavior change.

Games are the perfect tool to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. They allow for failure without consequence, empower teams to think creatively and experiment with new ways of collaborating, and generate critical a-ha moments.

In this workshop, we’ll introduce a framework for matching games with team development outcomes, and play games to explore their application toward fostering inclusivity, practicing giving and receiving feedback, and balancing competing priorities.

The learning objectives include:

• Matching games to specific team learning and development outcomes.
• Generating reflective questions that inspire meaningful insights toward self- and situation-awareness.
• Using games to foster higher levels of team engagement, connection, and motivation.
